PANDEMIC INFLUENZA

Exercise Cold Play II (13th August 2009)
Exercise Cold Play II is a Department of Health funded exercise designed as an ‘off the shelf’ package for use by health organisations and partner organisations within the UK. It has been developed from experience gained in previous pandemic influenza exercises and is intended to provide a generic format which can be adapted to suit the selected target audience. This exercise has been updated from the original Cold Play to ensure it is in-line with the Department of Health Pandemic Influenza Plan 2007.

Swine flu: UK planning assumptions (3rd September 2009)
This document contains revised planning assumptions in relation to the current A(H1N1) Swine Flu pandemic. The assumptions are intended to provide a common agreed basis for planning across all public and private sector organisations.

These assumptions are revised, reasonable worst case scenarios for planning purposes, based on the latest scientific evidence available on the A(H1N1) virus so far. They are not predictions of how we expect the virus to behave. They support effective planning for every eventuality.

These revised assumptions are appropriate for use until the end of the 2009/10 "seasonal flu" season - i.e. until Mid-May 2010.
